a. How to improve your vocabulary
If you genuinely need to improve your vocabulary then you have to target learning as many words as possible which will not only help you improve your English speaking but also make you improvise the skills naturally. Assume that you like doing some work with interest such as painting. Collect some set of words that well describes this activity such as colours, canvas, painting brushes, scenery or still art, imagination etc. Now combine all these words to create a write up of say some five sentences which complete your brief description. Utilizing such words in your day to day conversation will enhance the quality of both written skills as well as your target that is 'vocabulary'. This will also help in rectifying the errors that you will make while you assess your own write up. There's another innovative concept called as 'vocabulary trees' which is a tree of one subject something like what I earlier mentioned but in a different fashion altogether. This should sharpen your vocabulary levels to the extent that whenever you see an important piece of thing of an object or a thing such as 'a cupboard' other relative words such as hanger, clothes, towels, compartments, cluster, pile etc should quickly form in to your mind.
b. Improve your vocabulary online
